Comment: Though certified as 'green' we prefer to call it black. The green shimmers through at times but it really needs a lot of light. However, here is a big and pretty black gem, all-natural, no window, no flaws, including all Wild Fish perks, durable and full of energy. Will fill even a size 12 gents ring, or, of course any pendant. While green and pink tourmalines get more expensive by the day, these off-the-track colours can still be had for modest amounts ($100/carat plus expenses).
